In 1918 the Miners' Bank of West Hazleton, embarking on a program of expansion, desired the services of an experienced and talented executive officer to fill the position of cashier. It was decided that Mr. Price was ideally fitted by temperament and training for the post, and upon its being offered to him, he accepted. Since that time he has con- tinued in this work.
The growth and progress of the Miners' Bank illus- trates admirably the possibilities of a banking institution, soundly financed and capably managed. Incorporated on
May 13, 1913, it opened for business in West Hazleton in June of the following year, capitalized at $25,000. Its capital stock has been increased by successive steps, until in January, 1928, it amounted to $200,000, paying twelve per cent on a par value of fifty dollars. Each share now.sells at about one hundred and thirty dollars. On January 1, 1928 total resources of the bank were listed at $1,875,000, with a surplus of $220,000. In addi- tion to this, in 1919, when the capital stock was increased from $50,000 to $125,000, the stockholders received two shares for one, or a dividend of one hundred per cent. At the last increase in stock valuation, a dividend of three-tenths of a share was also declared. The bank is situated at No. 15 West Broad Street, but a fine new building. is now in process of erection at the corner of Broad Street and Winters Avenue, at a cost of more than $200,000. The original president was Silas E. Jones, now deceased, and the present officers; besides Mr. Price as cashier, are: Joseph H. Jones, president ; Daniel Sachse, vice-president ; and Walter H. Herbst, assistant cashier. The directors are: Joseph H. Jones, Daniel Sachse, James R. Howells, George P. Fichter, Samuel W. Drasher, William B. Tressler, John J. Zehner, Adrian H. Jones, and Joseph P. Silvasi. Into the work of this institution Mr. Price has brought a fine ability and energy which have contributed notably to its suc- cess.
